Trying something different

A few months ago I decided to try and make my own plushie. I cut into a red skirt I had, made of felt-ish material, which didn't fit anymore. I didn't mean to make it look devilish but that's sort of what happened. To fill it I used stuffing from a pillow that was coming apart. I liked the final result but didn't do another one...

...until tonight. The bunny is made out of craft felt, purple on the front, pink on the back. I didn't have any stuffing for this one (threw away the pillow a while back) so I used plastic bags. It's not the best way to stuff a plushie but it still works and it's recycling at its best! I used buttons from my stash for the eyes and a heart charm as decoration. It was done in less than 2 hours and I'm satisfied with the result. It's not perfect but it's made by me.

    Those are cute. Felt is something I've not done anything with yet.
    Fun!

    Those plushies are sooo sweet , fill one with catnip and your kitty will enjoy it.

    Great recycling idea.

    Very fun - and very creative. I doubt I would have thought to use the plastic as stuffing - but what a great recycling idea!
